The boiler is the 80HE plus model

Hi Dave, For a complete boiler novice, what does that mean in lehmans terms? Is it something that can be sorted easily? Thanks, Tony

The heatings not on yet and I believe most are turned off at the radiator but one of the radiators I noticed does heat up. So this one radiator does turn on despite the heating not being on. I can't say for the other radiators because they are not on.

Hi all, I've got the Baxi COmbi 80 HE boiler in my one bed flat. Now it all seems to work fine except when I want a bath. When I run a bath I have to run the bath so slowly to get an adequate temperature. This obviously takes an age to run but if I open the tap up any more it just becomes...
